In Canada October 6, 1941 1 Claim.

The invention relates to improvements in hair curling pads, as describedin the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawingthat form a part of the same.

The invention consists essentially of the novel features of constructionas pointed out in the claim for novelty, following an explanation indetail of an acceptable form of the invention.

The objects of the invention are to reduce the cost in the manufactureof pads utilized in hair curling by avoiding the use of expensive coverssuch as aluminium or tinfoil, and substituting (Cl. 132-362) V there inplace a cover less expensive and more efficient for the purpose andpermitting the use of the aluminium or tin, thus saved, for moreimportant manufactured products; to enable hairdressers and others toaccomplish a better permanent hair wave than heretoforadue to the factthat the pads may be applied to the hair for a longer period than theordinary pads using metal foils; to allow the hair to remain moist andsoft after the use of the non-metallic pads and minimizing the danger ofburning of thehair which occasionally occurs through the use of metallicpads, and also preventing the hair from being dried and brittled and theconsequent ruination of the same, which is often the penalty for thosepersons who-have too many permanent waves applied to the hair, andthrough the use of a non-metallic pad it is immaterial how manypermanents a person may have, in fact, the more permanents the better,it is for the hair; and, generally, to provide a non-metallic haircurling pad that will be comparatively cheap to manufacture andeflicient for its purpose. 1

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a non-metallic hair curling pad. 1

Figure 2 is an end view of the pad.

Figure 3 is a plan view of the cover in its extended position prior toits attachment to the pad.

Figure 4 is a plan view of a modified form of cover.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the variousfigures.

Referring to the drawing, the non-metallic hair curling pads consist ofone or more sheets of absorbent material such as flannelette, asindicated by the numeral Ill, and a sheet of wax paper sewing or otherfastening means [4 and, thereby, completing the pad.

The non-metallic cover is formed of an elongated sheet of paper l5,which is treated by a chemical process to make the paper heat-resistingand this paper is preferably treated with a wax sulphite or otherstandard heat resisting paper procurable on the market. This sheet ofpaper is simply folded doubly and has its free ends 5 sewn together andto the wax paper and the flannelette sheets, and an additional sheet I!of heat-resisting paper is insertedbetween the folds of the elongatedsheet of paper and secured thereto.

In Figure 4 the non-metallic cover is formed of an elongated sheet l8having the folding lines l9 and 20 so that by bending this sheet ofpaper (which is also chemically treated for heat-resisting) over thefolds a triple sheet will be formed and one edge of the triple sheetissecured to the wax paper and the absorbent material sheets to completethe pad.

The application of the pad to the hair is accomplished in the samemanner as those pads having metallic covers, that is to say, the hair isfirst treated with a suitable solution which is specially prepared forthe curling of the hair; the flannelette sheets are dipped into water orother liquid, and the pad is then applied by folding over the rolledportion of the hair and held thereto by means of a clamp which isheated, and the heat derived from the clamp will be transferred throughthe non-metallic covering to the wax paper and the flannelette sheetsand into the hair and, by the use of a non-metallic covering,

the heat is conserved for a longer period than would otherwise be thecase if it were applied to a metallic covering, and consequently, thehair will not be subjected to a sudden inrush of heat radiation but to agradual radiation of heat and,

In using the non-metallic pad, the solution isgradually heated andexudes a gradual chemical reaction to the hair for forming the curl and,

since the heat is not too great, the natural oils which are'so importantto the hair are allowed to remain, with the result that excellent curlsare gether, and an intermediary heat resisting chemically treated sheetlocated between the folds of said cover and having one end secured tothe fastening portion of aid pad.
